If you’re planning to do some summer lovin’ this season, extend your compassion to animals, your health, and the planet by choosing vegan. The perfect beach day begins with a big bag full of beach essentials. Bonus green points if you bring a water-resistant solar charger to keep your phone going for impromptu beach selfies (we’ve all done it). Before you head out for some fun in the sun, make sure you pack these seven beach bag must-haves so you can lay out and soak in that summer sunshine all day long.
7 Vegan and Cruelty-Free Beach Bag Must Haves, From Sunscreen to Sea Salt Spray
1. Boho Woven Cream Tote Bag
It all starts with the bag. This neutral-colored tote is big enough to stuff all of the essentials, including that extra-large beach towel. It’s also perfect for plopping down on the sand – no worries about getting your favorite vegan designer shoulder bag dirty! Plus, it goes with everything. You can even use it when you forget your reusable bag a the supermarket.
